E,B,G,D,A,E = guitar strings, p = pull off.

To play the D chord sequences just add and remove the little and
middle fingers.
To play the A chord sequences just add and remove the little and
ring finger.
I struggled a little with the lead solo but I think it is close
enough to have some fun with.  Or improve upon..
